Mother’s Day Gift Idea: DIY Chocolate Bouquet

Mother’s Day is right around the corner (which I canNOT believe)! One thing that many moms love is a little chocolate indulgence. So, when the folks at DOVE® reached about getting creative with chocolate, I was definitely on board. DOVE® Dark Chocolate is SO good! With the fun samples they sent, I put together a chocolate bouquet that can double as a tasty edible centerpiece and Mother’s Day gift idea! The bars are great & needed to make the bouquet. But, I really especially love the bags of DOVE PROMISES®! Each little wrapper has a fun message inside and the dark chocolate is soooo good! So, I started my little project with a few bags. You could do all one color or a mix like I did for some variety of flavors and colors. The Silky Smooth Almond Dark Chocolate (purple) and new Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel (blue) are my favorites! So to make your chocolate bouquet centerpiece, you’ll need:

a vase or clear container

small cup filled with styrofoam or floral foam

assortment of DOVE PROMISES®

assortment of DOVE® chocolate bars (I used 5)

Lollipop/candy sticks

tape

ribbon

You’ll start the process by placing a small cup filled with the foam in the center of your vase/container (that’s what you’ll be sticking the chocolate bars into). Around that small cup, you’ll fill the vase with the small chocolates. I decided to do separate layers by color/flavor. Fill just up to the center cup line. Then, tape lollipop sticks to the back of the chocolate bars. Stick the bars into the foam and fill in the empty spaces with some more individual chocolates. Then, tie some ribbon around the vase. As is, you could use it as a fun Mother’s Day centerpiece. You could also wrap the bouquet in some cellophane and attach a fun printable like this “I love mom more than chocolate” one. Either way, it’s an easy (and tasty) gift idea for a mom who likes chocolate!
